GlaciStore: Pre-Proposal Cover Sheet for North Sea CO2 Storage Research Drilling

GlaciStore is a pre-proposal cover sheet submitted to the Integrated Ocean Discovery Programme (IODP) on 31 March 2014. The document, led by Heather Stewart of the British Geological Survey on behalf of a 25-member consortium, outlines scientific objectives and details 12 proposed drill sites for investigating glacial history and basin processes relevant to offshore CO2 storage in the North Sea. The publicly available cover sheet includes an abstract, research objectives, and a table of site coordinates, water depths, and drilling targets.

Use Cases

• Analyzing proposed scientific drilling locations based on the table of 12 site coordinates and water depths.
• Studying research objectives for glacial history and basin processes as described in the abstract.
• Identifying consortium members and institutional collaboration networks from the listed proponents.

Strengths

• Document is publicly available from the IODP, providing direct access to the proposal framework.
• Specifies 12 proposed drill sites with coordinates, water depths, and objectives.
• Lists 25 proponents from 8 named UK and Norwegian research and industry organizations.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• The full pre-proposal document is restricted, so the cover sheet provides only a summary.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
